ibis London Thurrock M25

Easy Access, Great Value Stay Just Outside London

Modern and budget-friendly, ibis London Thurrock M25 is a no-fuss hotel just off the M25 and A13, ideal for concert-goers who want to stay outside the city but within easy reach of the action. Located less than a mile from Lakeside Shopping Centre and around 2 miles from Grays Railway Station, it offers straightforward access to London venues and beyond—plus free parking and 24/7 reception service.

Why Concert-goers love it

With quick access to major roads, getting to and from shows is a breeze. Grays Station is nearby, and from there, London’s top music venues are a short train ride away. Travelling internationally? Ebbsfleet International Station is just 15 minutes by car for Eurostar connections. After the show, you’ll find the hotel’s location peaceful and quiet—perfect for some post-gig rest. Plus, the flexible 12:00 check-out gives you time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends road-tripping to a concert with free parking included
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list gig with easy rail access
• Couples looking for a simple, budget-friendly weekend base
• Fans needing quiet recovery time post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer not to pay central London prices

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant, hot snacks and drinks are available 24/7—a big plus after a late concert. You’ll also find plenty of restaurants and fast food options at Lakeside Shopping Centre, just minutes away. No need to rush out in the morning either—breakfast is available, and check-out isn’t until noon.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about rest than revelry, there are bars and pubs around Lakeside and Grays if you want to keep the night going. Or bring your own drinks back and relax in the hotel’s casual lounge area.

What People Say

Guests often highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and great value for money. Many appreciate the convenient location for driving or catching the train to events. The hotel’s quiet atmosphere is a recurring plus for those wanting to avoid the post-show chaos of central London.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor is a bit dated, and the rooms are basic—but most agree that it’s exactly what you need for a short, affordable stay. If you’re expecting luxury, this isn’t it—but for concert-goers with a plan, it works.

The Bottom Line

A simple, quiet, and budget-friendly base for concert-goers who want quick access to London and a peaceful night’s sleep afterwards.
